2019 Tesla Model S

Let's just get this out of the way. Around here we spend our days talking about cubic inches, big camshafts, loud exhausts, and the smell of race fuel. So when someone suggested writing about an electric car, the first response was, Where do I put the oil? Then we drove it... and suddenly everyone got real quiet. Meet this 2019 Tesla Model S, finished in Pearl White Multi Coat over a Black interior with just 30,000 miles. It is the car that has been making V8 owners question their life choices one stoplight at a time. There is no rumbling idle, no cam lope, no smoky burnout, and definitely no trip to the gas station. Instead, you get enough instant torque to make your stomach wonder what just happened. The Dual Motor all wheel drive system simply hooks and goes. There is no waiting for an engine to build power, no transmission deciding what gear it feels like being in, and no drama. Just mash the pedal and hang on. If you are the type who has spent your life chasing horsepower numbers, this thing delivers acceleration that has humbled more than a few cars with twice the cylinders and a whole lot more noise. Sure, you will not be changing spark plugs, adjusting valves, or arguing over which brand of motor oil is best. Your biggest maintenance decision might be whether to plug it in before dinner or after. It is strange. It is different. It is also ridiculously fast. This particular Model S has traveled only 30,000 original miles and has clearly been cared for. The Pearl White Multi Coat paint pairs perfectly with the Black interior, creating a timeless combination that still looks futuristic years after it first rolled off the assembly line. It comes complete with both original key fobs, the factory charging cord, and a full set of winter floor mats, making it ready for its next owner from day one. We still love a healthy V8 that shakes the windows and rattles the garage door. We probably always will. But every once in a while a car comes along that rewrites the rule book. This Tesla is one of those cars. It is fast enough to earn respect from just about anyone, even the guy who still thinks carburetors are superior to fuel injection. At GR Auto Gallery we appreciate everything from big block muscle to modern electric performance. We may still prefer the smell of premium fuel in the morning, but after driving this Tesla, we have to admit... electricity can be a whole lot of fun. Even if we still catch ourselves looking for the exhaust pipes every time we walk around it.
